There is sort of praise God from

missioners up in Sphinx county. When
they heard OF the resignation of Sparks
they Immediately called themselves TO-
gether and unanimously adopted this
recommendation:
WHEREAS, The Lord in his goodness
having caused one W. A. j Sparks TO
resign his position as land commissioner
1t is hereby recommended that day be
set apart for public Thanksgiving.
1t may be imagined in outside circles
that this official action was prompted by
desire to indulge in the sensational.
Not At all. 1t was the earnest. heartfelt
action of the representatives of .
wronged constituency who can know no
greater cause for Thanksgiving than that
Sparks is deprived of power to work
further injury against them.

Street Railways.

Street railways are not intended alone as
a method of money making for the men
who are granted the privileges of owning
them. They are also for the accommoda.
tion CT the public that is, at least, the
theory on which the streets OF cities are
surrendered to private corporations for
railway purposes.
1t often happens that railway corpora
rations obtain franchises for the occupation
Of streets, the immediate building on only
part being profitable, while another por-
tion would not give the usual heavy return
upon the necessary capital which street
railways expect, but the occupation OF
which would greatly benefit the public aud
would eventually pay the company we'll.
In all such cases the corporations should
he required to take the profitable and the
Improbable together, not be allowed to
build only where there was a large profit
and leave unused the sections where there
is none, or only small profit. No such ac'
tion should be permitted. The companies
should be held to the contract in every in
stance.
1t Is said that cases of this kind exis
here. If on examination this is found to b
the case, the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN viii
insist that literal performance should b
required in every case, and that compan!e
should be required to build equip, and rui
all the lines OF railway for which they hav
charters.

The Case of Capt. Grosvenor.

The statement that Capt. Dan Groa-
venor's removal is justly attributable TO his
being either intoxicated or disorderly does
him great wrong. That he is an uncon-
promising Republican everybody knows,
and 1t is well known here that for this he
has heen constantly pursued by attacks
from local politicians at home, but he does
not make himself offensive to or crlticise
the administration. By the unhesitatlng
testimony Of Comptroller Durham he is one
of the most competent clerks in his office
lie did go to sleep In his room toward the
close of office hours, aud was reported to
the Secretary by watchmau for intoxlca-
ton and disorderly conduct. Your cor
respondent visited the room Of Mai. NJ an
gum, Capt. Grosvenor's chief, In company
with the captain, seeking an introduction
to the chief as late as 3 o'clock Of the after
noon in question--that Is, one hour before
the close OF Office hours-aud at th9t time
the captain, so far from being intoxicated,
was not even under the influence of liquor.

lowed by some ominous signs. An inter
view is arranged with Count Kalnoky at
Kissengen. A cold repulse was the answer
to an intimation from Russia that Count
schouvalofr, the Russian ambassador at
Vienna, should be present But the envoy
of Italy will be received, and DIR. Schlozer,
the Prussian minister to the Vatican, will
be present, as will also Mgr. Galimberti, the
papal nuncio at Vienna. The inspired Ger
man papers are making still more vigorous
attacks upon Russia. 1t seems hardly pos
sible that Prince Ferdinand deliberately
started for Bulgaria without secret assur-
ances Of support from German Austrian
Italian alliance or from Russia, because
such movement would be sheer folly aud
madness. Perhaps the new king Of Bulga-
ria is the match that is to fire the magazine

Workingmen Is the name Of new labor

principles for its goyernance which this
order announces are materially different
from those which control most, II not all,
of the numerous labor societies now exist
ing. None but actual workers can become
members and opposition to strikes is a
fundamental principle. The order claims
that every difference can be adjusted by
arbitration and In this 1t is sustained by the
highest authority, that of Christ himself,
who taught that doctrine,
In case Of differences between employers

Pure Water and Plenty OF 1t.

There is no more fertile source Of disease
than impure water. In Washington, as
elsewhere, great stress Is laid upon securing
great quantities of water aud but little at
tention paid to the necessity OF its being
pure. The death rate 10 London has de-
creased wonderfully since the laws were
passed that require every storage reservoir
within five miles OF st. Paul to be covered,
and that all water for domestic purposes
shall be efrectualy filtered These regula-
tions were made after a discussion Of a
quarter Of a century, and after the most
eminent engineers and chemists had pro-
nounced them the best possible solution OF
the water question.
The abest American authorities have pro-
noupced the English system the best, the
covered reservoir being necessary to pre-
serve. the water after the process Of iiltra-
tiou. The system OF filtration adopted is
that of passing the water over beds OF
sand and gravel, which are cleaned once
each month. The report for last May shows
that before filtration the water supplied to
per cubic centlmetre Of water, while after
filtration 1t only yielded 10 colonies.
The effect OF the sun on water stored In
open reservoirs would be much greater In
America than In England, rendering the
closed reservoir so much the more neces
sary. The water which passes from the Po
tomac river into the receiving reservoir /:
comparatively pure, because 1t has been I'll
tered in its passage over the rocks, gravel
and sand of the river bed, but its exposure
and standing in the receiving reservoir, and
mixed with surface drainage water, render
itimpure, and 1t should not only be filtered
but the distributing reservoir should be GOV
cred in, and thus the citizens given abun
dance Of pure water.
